I know that when i use -pie this error will not come but this error is coming for only some relocation types these are 

R_X86_64_32:
R_X86_64_8:
R_X86_64_16:
R_X86_64_32S:

I want to know why this error is coming for these types of relocations? are there any issues with relocation overflow while using position independent code?

    These are absolute relocations which are simply not allowed. – Jester Nov 22 '17 at 13:26

    Do you mean no error when you use `-no-pie`? On some distros, `-pie` and `-fpie` are on by default. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43367427/32-bit-absolute-addresses-no-longer-allowed-in-x86-64-linux. – Peter Cordes Nov 29 '17 at 21:13
